| Description of the problem | I was coming out of a round a bout intersection in the city, where i had to make a right turn into it and and a right turn out of it. Just as i came out of the turn, there was a jolt and as if i'd been hit from the side in rear. I was able to steer out of it and into a parking lot that was right there. I was only moving at 30 mph when the swing arm snapped from the stress of the turn. If this happened on the highway or on a mountain road, i may well have been killed. |
